Tips
  • When playing as Barret, ensure he is well-equipped with Tifa's best gear and Materia before proceeding.
  • After the battle with the "Attack Squad" soldiers, make sure Cait Sith is also equipped with up-to-date gear and Materia.
  • Don't worry about a time limit when Tifa is escaping the execution chamber; the developers did not implement one.
  • Tifa's fall down the tower is safe, despite the height.
